Notes:
* The data in the table are of serial planes. The performance of the experimental models was better, but it was impossible to keep equvivalent quality in the total war conditions (the experienced workers fought in the army, the were replaced by females and teenagers)
* The years figured are of the introdutions to combat units.
* The traners Yak-7UTI (186 produced), Yak-7V (510 produced), Yak-9V (456 produced); and also an experimental (less than 20 produced) models.
* The range is for 0.9 of maximal level speed; in the brackets - is the maximum range at the best speed.
